Do Your Code Like A User Is Stupid

ui-design-memes, user-experience-memes, frontend-memes, error-handling-memes, user-testing-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Developers spend hours designing "intuitive" interfaces, convinced that no user could possibly misunderstand them. Then reality strikes with the subtlety of a truck carrying lumber sideways. Users will find ways to break your system that you couldn't imagine in your worst fever dream. This is why we have error messages like "Please don't hold your phone upside down while shaking it violently and trying to log in." Murphy's Law of UI: if there's a wrong way to use it, someone will find it... and then file a support ticket.

Everything Is CRUD

The bell curve of developer intelligence strikes again. The 55 IQ junior dev thinks everything is just CRUD because they've only built simple apps. The 145 IQ senior architect also thinks everything is CRUD because after years of overengineering, they've realized most problems boil down to "create, read, update, delete" with fancy clothes on. Meanwhile, the 100 IQ mid-level developer is sweating about "complex architectures and states" because they're just experienced enough to know how complicated things can get, but not wise enough to see the underlying simplicity. The circle of developer life.
